Orion Electronics Ltdis an old and respected Hungarian electronics company.
Founded in 1913, Orion started manufacturing of radios in the 1920s and
remained a prominent manufacturer of radios for many decades. The
company commenced manufacturing of televisions in the 1950s and colour
televisions were started in the 1970s.

Although the company was better known by its
more visible products like radios, televisions and Hi-Fis, Orion designed,
manufactured, installed, commissioned and maintained sophisticated
microwave telecommunication equipment. The equipment was supplied to
a wide range of users in USSR and various other countries in Europe, Asia
and South America. The equipment was very well designed and rugged
enough to operate in very inhospitable terrains from the freezing winters
in Siberia to the hot punishing environs in Africa.

Like most agile Hungarian companies, Orion
also changed with the changing economic environment in the 1990s.
Retaining the core set of skills, the company became lean and upgraded its
equipment, facilities and systems while retaining a cost-effective
delivery structure.
